Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Wei Chen moved his last 850,000 in from under the gun and Sebastiaan de Jonge called in the big blind.

Wei Chen: 9♦8♥ All in
Sebastiaan de Jonge: A♠7♥

"I have live cards," said Chen, and he found one of them on the 10♠7♣9♥ flop to take the lead. A 2♦ on the turn put him one step closer to survival, but the 7♦ on the river gave De Jonge trips, which meant Chen hit the rail.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Joseph Roh raised to 700,000 on the button, and without too much thought, Gregory Pearson shoved from the big blind. Roh snapped him off, but was far behind.

Gregory Pearson: A♣Q♦ All in
Joseph Roh: K♦Q♣

Pearson went home in the most brutal manner possible, as he was three-outed on the river of 9♦7♠3♦9♥K♠ just missing out on a pay jump, and catapulting Roh into the table's chip lead.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Gary Friedlander made it 650,000 to go from under the gun and Joseph Roh called from the next seat.

They went to a flop of 4♠K♠10♦, where Friedlander quickly bet out 850,000. Roh called.

When the 6♠ hit the turn, Friedlander decided to check, then Roh announced a bet of 1,700,000. Friedlander didn't want anything more to do with the hand and folded, which allowed Roh to chip up to over 9,000,000.

Gary Friedlander: J♣J♠

Friedlander held as the board ran out 10♥3♥9♦5♥6♠ making him the table's new chip leader as he raked in the pot.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

The feature table only managed to play two hands in the space of ten minutes, but still managed to result in the elimination of Matthieu Rodriguez.

First, Srivinay Irrinki opened from the button and took down the pot. In the next hand, Irrinki raised the cutoff to 600,000 and Rodriguez shoved from the big blind for around 4,500,000. After just a few seconds, Irrinki called.

Matthieu Rodriguez: A♣3♦ All in
Srivinay Irrinki: A♦K♦

Irrinki was best and stayed ahead through the Q♠Q♦4♠ flop. Rodriguez was hoping for an unlikely scoop, but the K♠ on the turn meant he was drawing dead. A meaningless 4♥ hit the river, and Rodriguez headed to the exit.
